A two Ingredient recipe that will blow your mind & taste buds away!
Thats right, I said it- Two Ingredients is all you need to make Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken. Simply combine chicken breasts and Frank’s hot sauce in the slow cooker and you are done! Okay, you need water too, but hopefully you have a running faucet and I don’t need to include that as an ingredient.
About slow cooker Buffalo Chicken.
When I first tested this recipe (many, many years ago), I thought there would be no way boneless, white meat chicken, cooked for hours, could be anything but dry and bland. Simply put, I was wrong! It came out juicy, satisfying, and without the toppings, completely guilt free. I don’t think it gets better than that. It’s low calorie, carb free (KETO) & gluten free, yet completely satisfying! It’s basically magic!
How to make Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken
Are you ready for how easy this is? Simply add 3-4 boneless chicken breasts to a slow cooker, combine equal parts water and Frank’s hot sauce into a measuring cup. (About 1/2 cup of each but this amount can vary depending on how many or few chicken breasts you are making.) Pour the Hot Sauce and Water mixture over the Chicken Breasts until just covered. Turn your crockpot on low for about 6 hours until chicken falls apart easily with a fork. Drain, shred, top with extra hot sauce if desired and serve!
A Winning Game Day Recipe
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken is guaranteed WIN for game day gatherings. It’s easy, tasty, make-ahead & serves a crowd. Simply prepare the chicken and serve alongside slider buns with a store-bought or and easy and delicious Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing.
Pro Tips:
- This recipe calls for classic hot sauce, NOT Tabasco or Sriracha.
- You can double this recipe – just make enough hot sauce & water mixture to just cover the chicken. Do not over cover, just coat and barely cover the top of the chicken.
